If you look at the ingredients, you wont find any of the most drying ingredients so common in shampoos, like sodium lauryl sulfate, says O'Connor. "This company even goes so far as to make sure that the soy protein they use is GMO-free. The fragrance comes from organic essential oils, and there are no synthetic preservatives. And finally, it's so rich with oils and aloe that I find this shampoo lovely," she says.

Very good, practical advice. I'm a huge fan of the Burt's Bees tinted lip balms -- I currently own 4 colors. They're good alone, or to wear under other less-than-moisturizing lip products. The Lavera self-tanner looks like a product I might be able to use without my usual itchy reaction.
